There is a much neater alternative standardized in
ISO/IEC 14755 - Input methods to enter characters from
the repertoire of ISO/IEC 10646 with a keyboard or other input devices

I second that.

Hi,
well, even after digging through lots of source code and documentation,
I could really use some help. What I am trying to do is to emulate the
MS-Windows behaviour which lets one enter arbitrary characters by using
the Alt-Key while entering the character code on the numerical keypad.

easiest done by adding a new input method on the client side - I've
cc'ed the i18n list in the hopes someone there can confirm or deny my

That sounds really interesting. I've just read a few

Hi,
I am not sure either what would be the correct place for this code.
One possible place is keep some state code in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c:xf86PostKbdEvent(),
maybe handle it in xkb code or as Alan said, a new input method.

I'm going to chime in ...
X, on the other hand, is not supposed to be defining policy. Let's
assume your solution was implemented. What would you expect to happen
when you do Alt-227? What symbol would it be, and in what character
set? Is it the same with a German keyboard layout?

Hi,
(I seem to be out of luck on the XFree86 list, therefore I repost this
message to devel)
is it possible with a stock XF86 to emulate the Windows/DOS behavior
where the combination of Alt (held down) plus a combination of three
numpad digits is translated into a corresponding key code? For
